Best Draft Beer SelectionTap into this rotation

Jupiter

These days every biker bar and strip joint serves multiple brews on tap. This is especially true in the East Bay, where the microbrew revolution was birthed back in the 1980s. Beer is no longer just about quantity, yet when it comes to selection, you'll find all you need here. Jupiter boasts some thirty beers on tap -- the pub eschews pisswater such as Coors and Pabst in favor of hard-to-find brews with enticing names such as Moonlight Death & Taxes, Deshutes' Cindercone, and Long Coast 8 Ball Stout. That's in addition to a stable of Jupiter house beers that are brewed in nearby San Leandro. The pub's admirable selection is always fresh and served properly in an accessible and pleasant setting. The place also has great food, live music, and garden seating, and the beer menu changes hourly as old kegs get drained and new brews go on tap.
